Comments Thread For: DiBella Open To Co-Promoting Martinez With Top Rank

[DoktorSleepless]

It sounded to me like Dibella is talking about co-promoting a PPV with Arum, not co-promoting Martinez specifically. This turned up during the Cotto negotiations where Arum wanted to do all the promoting and buy out Dibella if the fight were to happen.

Cotto is not a real 154 pounder

The #1 rated jr middleweight isn't a real 154 pounder now?

[rey guey]

after Cotto out points Margarito in a boring jab fest he'll get his rematch with Pacquiao. Pacquiao will win by a late TKO or UD. Cotto probably retires after that. Cotto isn't a serious contenter anymore, he's just cashing out.
plus Cotto doesn't want his career defined by Martinez putting him to sleep.

nobody from Top Rank will ever fight Martinez. Chavez jr is a coward, Pacquiao's just cashing out, only fighting faded stars. Margarito isn't **** without the wraps. Arum isn't going to lose his cash cow paper champs.


Mayweather is the only star who'd face Martinez. BTW Floyd Mayweather is the WBC champion emeritus at 154. it isn't like he hasn't fought at 154 before.

Lou Dibella is a walking joke

But at least he has the good sense to realize he is just a glorified HBO booking agent and that he's squandering away Maravilla's career. Sergio should've been smart enough to leave Lou's stable when his contract ran out last year. At least he might get his chance now.

I think Sergio is seeking all the wrong fights. Cotto (even though he competes at 154), Pac and Mayweather are honestly too small to compete against a legit 160 lb fighter. And Margarito isnt the same fighter who beat him before. I understand that Martinez wants the big paydays but he's trying to fight Welterweights. He should chase a fight with either Chavez Jr or Dmitry Pirog.

Mushahadeen is a secret admirer of Sergio!

The truth is Mushahadeen is a secret admirer of sergio but his religion would behead him for it so he retaliates in anger. Time to pray you fool

[Pin Galarga]

He will have to break his contract with Martinez and allow Martinez to sign with TR. It's the only way to get a Pacquiao fight.

Why? Martinez is a Middleweight…

Because Martinez can make 154 andthe best fights for him are at 154.

Cotto vs Margarito winner
Angulo vs Kirkland winner
Lara fight (he is a way better fighter than Pirog)
And also the hopes of luring both Floyd and Manny to 150-152 catchweights

[mushahadeen]

He should chase a fight with either Chavez Jr or Dmitry Pirog.

JR would KO Steroidgio Martinez in > 3 rounds.

And that's without a training camp.

dibella is a ****in joke.
